I never said 'colored' was more or less sensitive than 'black', I just said it is considered that in Sweden. Of course, should I travel somewhere where the opposite is the rule, I'd adjust what I say according to that. I guess it's kind of a different situation when posting on the internet, being that I'm sitting in Sweden but talking to people all over the world.
Why should 'colored' be more insensitive than 'black' if I don't have any nasty intentions? I certainly meant nothing bad about it, why do you instantly think it's very insensitive of me? (Not arguing with you, just wondering)
